Providing Incisive Commentary on the Giants and the NFL

Giants GM Dave Gettleman selected three quality players in the second and third rounds. Will Hernandez, Lorenzo Carter, and BJ Hill.

Will Hernandez, an outstanding pick, will anchor this Giants offensive line. Right now, Hernandez is the best player on the offensive line. He will infuse much-needed toughness as well as open holes for Giants running backs. Do not be surprised if the Giants have him play right tackle. With Trainwreck Flowers AWOL, the Giants do not have quality at the right tackle position. Trainwreck is not quality, but the Giants do not have depth at right tackle.

Like in the first round, Gettleman chose a player who was graded the highest. Gettleman’s first Hog Mollie is a beast. Fantastic pick.

2nd Round – 34th Pick (OG) Will Hernandez : UTEP

– Good Run Blocker ; can block to the 2nd level (Linebacker)

– Never gives ground to opponent ; quick to set in pass protection

– Can use hands effectively when dealing with opposing defender

– Started in 49 consecutive games

– An inside running blocker

– Adjust and is able to block moving defensive players at 2nd level (Linebacker)

– Light on feet and balanced when in pass protection mode

– Quick off the snap

– CAN PLAY RIGHT AWAY & can switch to right OG if necessary

Concern; Signed with UTEP when every major program in the country backed off over academics.
